Decision to leave Nature asked readers whether these changes were causing them to consider leaving the United States. Responses were solicited earlier this month on the journal’s website, on social media and in the Nature Briefing e-mail newsletter. Roughly 1,650 people completed the survey. Many respondents were looking to move to countries where they already had collaborators, friends, family or familiarity with the language. “Anywhere that supports science,” wrote one respondent. Some who had moved to the United States for work planned to return to their country of origin.
How Trump 2.0 is reshaping science But many more scientists had not planned on relocating, until Trump began gutting funding and firing researchers. “This is my home — I really love my country,” says a graduate student at a top US university who works in plant genomics and agriculture. “But a lot of my mentors have been telling me to get out, right now.” This student lost her research support and her stipend when the Trump administration shut down funding for the US Agency for International Development. Her adviser found emergency funds to support her in the short term, but she is scrambling to apply for teaching-assistant positions — now extremely competitive — to carry her through the rest of her programme. She had already been considering doing a postdoctoral fellowship abroad because of her interest in international agriculture. Losing her funding and watching some of her colleagues get fired solidified that into a plan of action. “Seeing all of the work stopped is heartbreaking,” she says. “I’ve been looking very diligently for opportunities in Europe, Australia and Mexico.” The student hopes to return to the United States in the future if the upheaval in the research landscape settles down. But for now, the Trump administration “has made it very clear” that her area of interest, global food systems, “is not going to be a priority or a focus”, she says. “If I want to work in that space, I’m going to have to find somewhere else that prioritizes that.” Private US funding, such as through philanthropy, is an option, but she anticipates that she would be competing with a glut of formerly federally funded projects. Opportunities abroad Another respondent says that the disruptions have been “particularly horrible” for early-career scientists such as himself. “The PIs [principal investigators] I’ve spoken to feel they’ll be able to weather this storm,” he says. “As early-career investigators, we don’t have that luxury — this is a critical moment in our careers, and it’s been thrown into turmoil in a matter of weeks.”

对美国肯定是坏事，对科学不一定，美国这破地方其实一点不尊重科学
活久见老大自废武功的，和底层争夺糠菜窝头的。
再加上南方的棉花，烟草种植，德州的畜牧业，牛仔们互相howdy，画面太美了
加拿大的大学教授朋友说招了一个哈佛挺有名的一个华人教授，此哈佛教授就是不喜欢美国现在的环境了
挺好的，美国本来就是个负债累累的穷国。
也许只有当世俗/宇宙/自然之神的定义被所有国家接受时，才能实现永久的和平。!

不是美国不尊重科学 是川粉不尊重科学
你确定？蓝州的中小学校就不崇尚leadership、不崇拜football球员、不鄙视nerd啦？可能没有红州严重，但是感觉也是很普遍的现象吧？
